I have to order most, if not all my hardware, as I don't have any decent stuff locally. Ordering, getting the wrong thing, then re-ordering is expensive and extremely time consuming.
FWIW if I buy one from ayoustin, I'd swear myself to secrecy and not give out the build info. ... and probably still finish mine, for funsies
Get some cardboard or thin MDF and cut the shape u want. get some 1inch alloy angle. drill some holes. away u go! haha

Just order some rod ends off of ali express and some pins from ali express

Pretended to be a showcar on the weekend. Ended up walking away with best Racecar in show. Now we are off to Bruce Mclaren Motorsport Park in Taupo for the final round of our series today

The APR kit stays wide all the way to the tail lights and has a weird spot where they meet up. I like the look of this duraflex one as it pulls it back into the stock rear bodywork

For Roebling and Road Atlanta it's more negative on the left then the right actually. Between 2.1-1.9 on the rears usually. Tire probe was spot on with 20 deg spread between inside and outside with the front left being the exemption because it's doing all the work.
